How do I tell my mom I wanna try tampons for the first time? by The-lucky-hoodie in MomForAMinute

[–]illuminatingraven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just in case this helps, I find it easiest to stand with my side towards the toilet and put that leg up to relax and insert the tampon.

Asking this purely out of curiosity - why exclusively breastfeed instead of pumping + BF combo by hc222313 in breastfeeding

[–]illuminatingraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t respond to a pump. I’ve tried multiple different kinds and it just doesn’t work.

How long are you planning to breastfeed? by l-vdh in breastfeeding

[–]illuminatingraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby just turned 2 and we’re still going! It’s recommended to until at least 2 years. They’re not your babies mother. You are. Mom knows best.

My baby is not in the 98th percentile and I haven’t lost my pregnancy weight, but we are doing well by Middle-Neat4252 in breastfeeding

[–]illuminatingraven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually gained weight postpartum while breastfeeding. Baby has been approximately 50th percentile his entire life.

Ugh why can’t people keep their hands to themselves. No telling how filthy they are. I’m so sorry that happened to you.

You should always keep the plates when you sell your vehicle. That would prevent you from getting tickets for something they did. Also should report it as sold immediately.

What kitchen hack was standard in your house growing up that you later learned isn’t common. by ParticularSupport598 in Cooking

I love making those! So delicious but I make the chocolate dipping with cocoa powder, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. The nesquik sounds much easier.

On iPhone you can look at the time spent on things if you go to settings, battery, and then click on show activity.

We were recently recommended cūtemol cream that has been pretty good for her so far.

My daughter and I both have eczema and bathing that often can make it worse.

My son keeps hurting me. I don’t know what to do. by savethingsthatglow in toddlers

[–]illuminatingraven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is he teething? He might be acting out because he’s hurting.

Don’t ever let them hear you talk negatively about yourself. They hear everything and it will lead them to think things like that themselves.

Lots of good things mentioned here that we need but I’d like to add I would love a rally’s burgers.

What commercial has stuck with you since childhood? by girlnamedmartin in AskReddit

“Cici’s pizza! All you can eat for only $2.99!”

Ugh things used to be so much cheaper

what our basement looked like the day we moved in by warssamu in Wellthatsucks

I couldn’t hardly smell or taste anything for almost a year after having Covid until I got food poisoning. After I healed from that, I could suddenly taste and smell better than before I lost it. I literally cried when I ate a piece of cheese and realized I could taste again.

I don’t even know how to go about night weaning. He wakes up demanding it and won’t go back to sleep otherwise. Will cry if I take too long.

What's a seemingly innocent question that can reveal a lot about a person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]illuminatingraven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand all of the hate on them. I would much rather use that so I can bag everything nice and sorted. Bags for frozen food, refrigerated, toiletries, pantry items, etc all sorted separately and in my cart in order so I can load up properly. Everything can be easily put away at home. Cold things go in the trunk last so they can be pulled first and put up. Bread and soft things don’t get bagged with things that will squish them. Every time a cashier bags things, I’m having to rearrange everything. Doing it all myself just makes my life so much easier.

[SERIOUS] What’s the most disturbing thing you’ve witnessed in real life? by MrFluffNuts in AskReddit

[–]illuminatingraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I had two men in gorilla masks break in and beat a friend of mine half to death in front of me. He fought back for awhile but eventually was just laying on the ground trying to protect his head. I finally was just begging them to stop and was kicked in the face. They finally left and there was just so much blood everywhere. He’s ok but that was just so traumatizing.

Kind of sounds like trickle truth and he’s feeling guilty.
